Carnaval des Animaux a la Zapp 4
Zapp 4 plays Les Carnaval des Animaux by Camille Saint-Saëns and of course this happens in their own Zappesque way! The Lion parades on a reggae groove and the Fossils dance to a Balkan beat. The Elephant marches through a china cabinet and the Kangaroos jump the boogie woogie. Only the Swan shines as usual, but then with a beautiful whistling sound accompanied by the cello. Also new animals will be present, such as the Meerkat that lost its way and a Bumblebee that spins like a madman.
All this in a dazzling show, where the audience gets a surprising new glimpse into the wonderful world of Mother Nature. A fantastic night full of unexpected encounters!
